Oh. Reading the Sept 1996 vCard 2.1 specification
<http://www.imc.org/pdi/vcard-21.txt> it looks like you can combine TEL
properties i.e. "TEL;WORK;FAX" and "TEL;WORK;FAX;PREF" I wonder if this is a
way to go.

Alternatively, what I'm trying to do here is to indicate contact details for
two different "departments" in one organization but sharing the same
address. The vCard 2.1 spec offers an "agent" property. This looks like it's
intended for someone's administrator, assistant. The spec says "This
property is equivalent to nesting another vCard with the specified vCard".
May be this is what I'm trying to do? Nesting "Box Office" contact details
within contact details for the venue administrator details (or vice versa).

Thanks for your interest Mike!
